Stockholm's Local Talk Records . Aspiring labels need to take notes and study closely what these guys have been building up lately. Local Talk has to be one of the few labels I've followed with freakishly frequent and consistent quality in everything they've put out. They're on pace for a new release every week and my only disappointment is its been a challenge to keep up! I'm usually a large proponent of quality over quantity but when you're on a streak like this - by all means - don't let up or slow [...]

What lies ahead for the next couple months is a strenuous and tense schedule of consistent gigs in the party paradise we all dream about every night, Ibiza. Rough work, Guy, and our hearts go out to you for your sacrifice and perilous work.

It [...]

Each track cultivates a certain Ibiza sound that was designed for its audience to lose their mind on any dance floor. As the EP commences with My Hut, its proves [...]

When I think of destinations where I’d want to watch or search for the sunrise, Las Vegas is not at the top of my list. When I think of “ In Search of Sunrise ”, I immediately think Tiesto . I willingly admit that when I saw “ In Search of Sunrise 11 – Las Vegas ”, mixed by Richard Durand and Myon & Shane 54 , I did a double take; I wondered why Tiesto wasn’t involved and how they could [...]

Frits Wentink - ever heard of him? Me neither. And that's what makes this all the more special. Before doing a proper write-up, I usually find some comfort and solace in looking up a producer's past discography to check on their "legit-ness".

I need to pay respect to Wolf Music for shedding light on Frits . I'm fascinated, impressed and in [...]
